What: Veteran installation artist Vivan Sundaram brings Postmortem (after Gagawaka) to the city. Sundaram’s artworks have dealt with a wide spectrum of issues ranging from the personal to the political. This exhibition acts as a continuation of the discourse he triggered in his previous exhibition Gagawaka: Making Strange, which focussed on sculptural garments (made of miscellaneous discarded materials, ranging from a sanitary napkin to paper cups). Here, the body occupies the centre and is investigated through various perspectives. The body is cut in various postures, disjointed and arranged in multifarious manners to evoke a gamut of reactions from the audience.
